Tom & Betty at the Christmas store in Frankenmuth.

Some of the cars in The Great Race. The driver of the one above is from Tyrone, GA.

We are in Frankenmuth, MI tonight at the Bavarian Town Bed & Breakfast. Kathy & Louie are our hosts. Louie has shown us his garden, flowers, his entire house, and lots of other things. He accepts cash only. He also took 4 pictures of us. We are eating dinner now at Tiffany's. Yes it is a restaurant but it used to be someones mansion. It has very pretty lights and ceilings. We drove from Mackinaw City to here today, using all state highways. Tomorrow we will go to Dearborn, to the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village. That should be a real test of our navigation skills getting through Detroit. Yesterday, when Ray stopped to help a fellow Model A-Er, he told us that the Great Race was going up Hwy 131, our route. The race started in Traverse City and was headed to St. Ignace for lunch. We were able to see most of the cars. One of the drivers stopped at a gas station where we weretaking pictures. He is from Tyrone, GA. It was fun and I have lots of pictures. Unfortunately, I can't post pictures again tonight because Louie doesn't have Internet. We passed a sign today that sais 45 parallel. You are half way between the equator & the north pole. We also passed Betty's Restaurant. I almost forgot . . . we went to Bronners, a huge Christmas Store. Betty says that it is the biggest in the world. I believe it! Ray, Teri, Tom, & Betty PS: The cars are running fine.
